Right then, it's England 3-0 in the series with only one formality ODI left. It's on Sunday, May 19 in Leeds. Do join us at 1100 local (1000 GMT) for all the action. Cheers!

Jason Roy is awarded the Man of the Match for his impactful hundred. His knock set the tone up front and played a big role in England's victory.

Earlier in the match, Babar Azam stroked a beautiful century but failed to carry on. The likes of Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez also got starts but the kind of finish that was desired, never came at the death. Eventually, it was one more defeat for Pakistan, their 9th in a row in a completed ODI and they are finding no momentum heading into the mega event.

It was yet another poor display of bowling and fielding from Pakistan. Their performance with the new balls was not up to the mark. The pacers failed to create much impact initially, however, towards the end, they bowled some great deliveries to scare the English team. The young bowler, Mohammad Hasnain, impressed with his pace but he went for aplenty. Junaid and Hasan were very inconsistent with their lengths and overall, it was once again a below-par show from the Asian team.

The target in excess of 300 is always supposed to be a challenging one and given the way England made a mockery of the last chase in Bristol, 341 looked below-par. The English openers once again laid a solid platform with Jason Roy finally converting his fifty to hundred, after getting dropped on 25 by Fakhar Zaman. It was a cruise for the hosts but then came a roadblock. They lost four wickets for 15 runs in a span of 17 balls in the middle overs which brought Pakistan back into the match. However, the asking rate wasn't too much and Ben Stokes along with the lower order batsmen - Joe Denly, Tom Curran and Adil Rashid overhauled the target in the last over.

A hard-fought win for a change for England. They won't mind it though as it tested their lower order batting. A fine knock under pressure from Ben Stokes and he stayed till the end to drive the English team home.

out, OUT! Buttler goes for a duck! Is the game turning? Full and around leg, in fact a full toss. Buttler looks to play the paddle but the ball hits the back end of the bat and lobs up. Mohammad Hasnain runs to his left from short fine leg, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a decent catch. Now then, now then, now then...

out, OUT! Caught and Root goes too! Massive, massive wicket for Pakistan and they now have two new batsmen in the middle. Tossed up, outside off, Root comes down the track and looks to go over the top, aiming for an inside-out shot. However, he is not to the pitch of the ball and gets a top edge. It goes behind and Mohammad Hafeez runs back from short third man. Sticks out his right hand but it pops out. However, he manages to hold it in the next attempt. 133 needed from 129 balls.

out, OUT! Caught down the leg side. The 19-year old strikes. A short ball, down the leg side, Roy looks to pull but misses. There is a faint noise and the moment Sarfaraz collects, he smiles and puts in a big appeal. Pakistan appeal but Roy walks! A standing ovation for the Surrey batsman. What a knock. Once again, he has set England a wonderful platform. 6 out of his 8 ODI hundreds have come in run chases. Only now, for some consistency.

Jason looked to get his bat down to defend but the ball seemed to miss everything. Hasnain though appealed for LBW but the umpire was firm. Not quite sure whether the ball hit the back leg.

What happened there? Hafeez comes on to bowl but at the last moment, does not deliver. Root is out of his crease and quickly gets his left leg back. But the Professor calmly tells him that he was not looking to Mankad. Replays show that he overstepped, so he did not deliver!
